Re: adi_menu – section hierarchy, section menu and breadcrumb trail

Hi Adi!
I use adi_menu in 99% of cases. It’s a great plug in!
I’ve got some suggestion for you. I don’t know if they are useful.
1 – Create and manege more then one menu. I’de like to create a menu selecting sections and other options directly in adi_menu tab. So I can recall them simply in adi_menu tag

<txp:adi_menu menu="main" />

2 – Let user use forms for output menu. In particular for speaking block and submenus.

It’s a thought but I’m not sure if making the admin tab more complicated is such a good idea … if you find you’re repeating the adi_menu tag, perhaps storing it in a form & using something like <txp:output_form form="adi_menu_main" /> might help?

What I’d like to do is set up section 5-3’s list to display in proper day-of-the-week order. And I’d prefer to avoid setting a number prefix for each article title (i.e. 1 Monday, 2 Tuesday, 3 Wednesday, etc.).

Any ideas? Thanks for any and all help!

P.S. you can see the site in question here . I’m trying to adjust the third child section under “Broadcasts” so only articles from this child display in Posted order. Everything else displays in Title order.

Re: adi_menu – section hierarchy, section menu and breadcrumb trail

I love this plugin, adi! Been using it since you first wrote it and it’s absolutely fabulous.

Glad it’s useful.

I’d like to be able to sort the article title list from a specific section by Posted date — but only from that ONE section — articles listed from all other sections would sort by title.

Hmm, section specific article sort … the bad news is that there’s currently no built-in adi_menu functionality to do this.

There might be a way around it using stm_article_order – it’s an old plugin, which I think has been modified by Uli. You’d have to manually order some of the articles using it & then in adi_menu use article_attr='sort="position"'. You’d need to experiment though – I don’t know which order articles would appear in if they haven’t been “positioned”.

Maybe I need to introduce a bit more flexibility on the way adi_menu renders articles? I’ll put it on the list.
